Via King of Zembla comes word that there may be some blotchy stains on John Roberts resume:
Now far be it from us to stir up trouble, but are Messrs. Dobson, Perkins et al aware that the President's Supreme Court nominee used to work pro bono for homos?Some of the freepi are going barking mad, and the maddest and yappiest of all are the self-assigned arbiters of ideological purity. OMG! They've even started to look under Roberts' bed for Hoover's old red rhinestone high heels…and beginning to wonder about Condi too. [Isn't it wonderful?! You know, you wake up in the morning and you just never know where the day will take you.]
Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. worked behind the scenes for gay rights activists, and his legal expertise helped them persuade the Supreme Court to issue a landmark 1996 ruling protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation.[From LA Times]

This is an attempted smear campaign by the left.
They think that the religious right will oppose Roberts for being a good lawyer.

No they'll oppose him because he worked on behalf of gay rights activists.

Damn.
A man of Roberts' stature can pick and choose his pro bono work. He didn't marry until he was past 40. Is the wife a beard?

I am beginning to have serious doubts about Roberts, looks like Ann [Coulter] was correct in asking why not a real tried and true conservative. And she has very good reason to worry about Roberts in fact being a closet liberal.

Has anybody asked him why he did it? Has anybody done research on the case?
Somebody better. This stinks. I don't care if it is a "left-wing smear campaign." If this guy's pro-gay, I don't want him anywhere near the Supreme Court.

What's wrong with a litmus test. I want to know what we are getting. When you buy a car to you just start making payments and hope you get a Ford Crown Vic but oh well it's really just a Yugo...

Nice try. I have read Ann Coulter's and other's concerns about Roberts' credentials as a constitutionalist. There are arguments to be made on both sides. Ann may be brash, but she's not stupid enough to suggest that simply because a man marries late in life, he must be a homosexual.
In fact, I'll up the ante. Would you care to be consistent and suggest that Condi Rice (50 years old, never married) is a lesbian?

Roberts made a calculated decision to represent the gay case. He could have turned it down but there might have been later repercussions in his political ambitions due to it...he knew that.
On the gay issue you are either 100% for it or 100% against it. There is no middle ground.
His involvement in the case clearly demonstrates that he pays close attention to Political Correctness and that alone makes me reject him outright.
This is our last stand to preserve our original concept of government and freedom and once one (or more) judges sit and legislate from the bench on a national basis, with Political Correctness being the standard rather than the Constitution, we certainly lose the fight.
As a conservative I cannot even begin to support anyone who had any involvement in the ongoing destruction of our moral values and the American way of life. As far as I'm concerned he has shown his stripes.
We need a tried and tested conservative that has NO liberal leanings and will uphold law according to the Constitution, not the political mood of the day.

I believe Condi has had several publicly well known byfriends like Gene Washington of the NFL.

So what you're saying is that a private employer or owner can discriminate against sexual choice but not against religion, race, creed or gender? Isn't that kind of contradictory?
No it's not. The "big myth" of homosexuality is the "born that way" BS. Sexuality is a CHOICE you can be discriminated against for a CHOICE. If I CHOOSE to steal a car people will CHOOSE to not trust me with their valuables because they think I'm a no good theif.

I am very disturbed if Roberts was donating his time to the gay rights activists. You don't work pro bono unless you want to. This is entirely different from taking a paying client's position in litigation.
Perverts should not be able to bring the government down on those of us who don't like what they do, don't want to hire them, and don't want to rent our property to them.
Why would a many like Roberts, who is otherwise conservative, donate his time to a cause like this?

A good lawyer does NOT WORK FOR FREE TO HELP GAYS IN A LAND MARK CASE TO ADVANCE GAY RIGHTS! A liberal RAT does.
